A whey protein supplement such as this will help you with lean muscle gain, providing you are supplementing your diet (between meals as a snack or post-workout for a quick protein hit) and NOT using it as a meal replacement.

Combine this with a weightlifting routine comprising the key compound lifts (squat, deadlift, bench, pull ups, dips, etc) and some HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training), and you'll be well on the way to achieving your goals, so long as you are consistent!

Hope this helps - and if you have any further questions, feel free to email us or drop us a tweet any time and we'll be on the case!

Supplementing your diet with a whey protein shake will help with lean muscle gains by supporting muscle repair/re-growth.

As you mention, taking a whey protein supplement post-workout is a good idea as at this point your muscles are starved, so hitting them a fast-acting protein source will help kickstart the recovery process.

If you're trying to loose some of that stubborn fat, I would suggest upping the intensity of your weights/resistance workout by focusing on the key compound lifts and dialing down starchy and high glycemic foods and focusing on lean protein and more fibrous carbs.
